Delores, Doris and Brad, Denise and Jerry, Ivan and Deanna.I am so sorry to hear of your dads death. I understand your loss. I remember many times riding my bike down the gravel road going to goodness knows where, and Ed slowing down in his ditch rider truck, asking if I wanted a lift. Always very kind. Although it has been a number of years, the photo you displayed here in the paper has the smile I remember very well. He always seemed amused by us girls all together 🙂 Those happy times will be of great comfort to all of you. With love and best wishes for a happier heart, Jeanne.
